Happy List

Haven’t written in a while. I just haven’t had much to say. Just been going through life, day by day, minute by minute, from one hour to the next. Been reading and writing, eating, sleeping, praying and praising...just living life.

Then this morning I was reading a devotional written by an old friend and I got to thinking. Today I am going to make a HAPPY LIST. A list that simply states all the things I can think of right now, in this moment that make me happy!

So here goes:

1.      I’m alive

2.      I’m in love

3.      I am loved

4.      My business

5.      Anticipation of the delivery of a pair of shoes I ordered this morning- YIPPIE

6.      No meetings at work today

7.      Today is a GREAT hair day

8.      My sister is in love and happy

9.      February 15 is coming!

10.  I had fantastic sex recently

11.  My girlfriends are world class

12.  I made 2 really great business connections yesterday

13.  The only sound I hear right now is the keys on the keyboard. I love silence.

14.  This list is making me smile

So there you have it my HAPPY LIST for 2/8/2011. I’m feeling pretty good right now. You should try it. Just start thinking and write down any thought that makes you smile. I promise this list will be much longer than a list of things that are wrong or are making you sad right now. And if it isn’t, write one every day until it is. Just tap into your heart and the things around you. Try to see the joy in the simple things. Things that appear on the surface as just life going by serve to shape our everyday state of happiness. Think about them, acknowledge them and write them down.

And on those days when happiness eludes you, pull out your HAPPY LIST and read it!
